A series of drone strikes targeted the Moscow region in what Russian authorities described as one of the largest aerial attacks since the beginning of the conflict. The strikes resulted in fires at local infrastructure, including a distribution warehouse, and caused civilian casualties.

Sources provide significantly different accounts of the human toll. RT, citing regional governor Andrey Vorobyev, reported that one civilian was killed and six others were injured. In contrast, The Guardian reported that Russian authorities claimed at least six people were killed in the overnight operation.

Discrepancies also exist regarding the scale of the attack. The Guardian reported that Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin claimed 600 drones were directed toward the capital region, with 201 destroyed, and noted that the Russian defense ministry claimed to have shot down 822 drones in total. RT’s report focused primarily on the immediate impact on civilians and did not provide the broader figures regarding the total number of drones intercepted or deployed. Both outlets agree that the attack represents a significant escalation in the use of drone technology by Ukrainian forces against targets deep within Russian territory.
